Description:
A WHEEL PRODUCING ELECTRICITY WHILE IT SPINS AND THEREBY

SPINS ITSELF

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a vehicle wheel having an electric motor that can spin itself via the production of its own electricity.

Prior Art Vehicle wheels known in the prior art spin by way of the propelling force of a motor via an axle or a mill that is connected to the vehicle. The hubs of know vehicle wheels house only the brake lining systems.

The wheel we have developed contains both an electric generator and an electric motor. The generator and the electric motor are housed inside the wheel's hub (5). As the wheel spins, the generator produces electricity and the electricity thus produced is supplied to the electric motor installed inside the wheel's hub (5) or charges the accumulator that stores electricity.

While the electricity produced can be directly used by the wheel's electric motor, it is also possible for the electric motor to be continuously powered by the accumulator by storing the electricity in the accumulator.

The generator and electric motor installed in the wheel's hub (5) are designed as two separate parts comprising coils in the shape of braces and magnets.

As the wheel spins, the braces of the coil and the braces comprised of magnets produce electricity by spinning inside each other. As the wheel spins, the group of braces (3) spin together with the wheel and the braces (4) comprising the magnets allow the magnet braces (4) to remain stationary by being fixed to the axle or the vehicle's motionless parts as the coil braces spin.

The coil braces (3) and the magnet (4) braces are provided as a multitude of ring-shaped braces of varying diameter that are located inside each other. The coil braces (3) and the magnet (4) braces are developed as extremely thin layers for the placement of more coil and magnet braces.

In addition to the fixed and spinning coil (3) and the magnet braces (4), the designed electric motor is provided as coils of greater diameter which can spin inside each other at the outermost region. The rotor coil braces (1) of the electric motor spin together with the wheel while the stator coil braces (2) remain fixed together with the axle. The electrical current supplied to the coils provide motion to the wheel through the spinning motion of the coil which is allowed to spin via the fixed and moving coils (1) propelling each other. The spinning rotor (1) of the electrical motor that we have designed for this system spins together with the wheels, while the stator (2) is designed to be fixed to the axle.

Thus, a wheel has been effectively designed that both produces electricity and contains an electric motor and also moves with the electricity produced.

The spinning coil braces (3) spin together with the wheel. With the fixed coil and magnet braces (4) remaining fixed together with the axle, the system is allowed to spin inside itself and a system is provided that can fulfill the function of both the generator and the electric motor.

With the wheel we have designed, it is possible to both produce electricity and with the electricity thus produced allow the wheel to exert self-propelling motion. Brief Description of the Drawings

The electrical motor support system realized in order to make the invention possible is illustrated in the following drawings, wherein; Figure 1 - is a sectional view of the wheel along its circular path. Figure 2 - is a vertical sectional view of the generator and electric motor coil and bobbin braces. Figure 3 - is a vertical sectional side view of the wheel.

The parts outlined in the drawings have been numbered and their corresponding definitions have been listed below.

1) The rotor coil braces of the electric motor

2) The stator coil braces of the electric motor

3) The rotor coil braces of the electric generator

4) The stator magnet braces of the electric generator 5) Wheel hub

6) Wheel tire

7) Axle

8) Part securing the stator braces to the axle.

As the wheel spins, the generator coil braces (3) and the magnet braces (4) produce electricity by spinning inside each other. The electrical power produced is conveyed to the electric motor coils (1,2) in addition to the generator braces having a greater diameter and allow the electric motor to produce motion.

In this system that we have designed, the wheel not only produces electricity during its motion, but also realizes its own motion via the electrical power it has produced. The electrical power produced by the wheel can not only be supplied to the electric motor in the form of energy, but can also be stored in an accumulator in order to allow the electric motor to be powered by the accumulator.
